A Prized Recognition (Gawad San Luis)



        











          Praise to GOD! These are the very first words that I would like to say… I am so thankful to our almighty GOD for giving me great blessings in my life specifically this achievement that me and my group have done.

         In our Medical career, me and my group have come up with a research regarding THE COMPARATIVE STUDY  ON THE ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTY OF CHLORELLA (CHLORELLA SP.) TABLET AND GLUTATHIONE TABLET. We didn’t expect that our hard work would be recognized nationwide as well as in the international scene through the 20th Annual Convention of the Philippine Society of Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology on October 19, 2009 and in the 43rd Annual Convention of the Association of Philippine Medical Colleges (APMC) on January 21 to 23, 2010 which was both held at UERMMMCI College of Medicine Auditorium, Quezon City. Also, it was published in the E-International Scientific Research Journal 2009. And our latest award would be the highest form of honor given to students of Saint Louis University, the 4th Gawad San Luis Award on March 11, 2010 for promoting a high caliber of excellence of Louisians, not only in the Philippines but around the world as well.

        I am grateful to have a wonderful group as well as great friends namely PHYLLIS BENGWAYAN, JEMUEL LAYGO, ALLYN PACIO, JENNIEL LOVELY POYAOAN and JAARMY REBUGIO. Thanks to these guys, for without them, our research wouldn’t be getting recognitions that it has today. These people will surely be great Doctors in the future. And of course, thank you to our powerful GOD for using people like DR. LEO EMMANUEL BUNAG (Department Head of Pharmacology and Therapeutics) and DR. JOHN ANTHONY DOMANTAY (Dean of College of Medicine) for seeing the potential of our research.

       These momentous experiences will be forever carried and remembered within our hearts… Truly, if You have a gigantic GOD, enormous blessings will come and this is just the start…

        I’ve been back to Bohol for countless of times and I always stay at the same resort… For me, this is the best resort in the Philippines… It’s my favorite resort of all time… It’s where I found the peaceful and relaxing setting that I’ve always been searching for especially when I want to escape the stresses, pressures and problems in my real world… Few people stay here so it seems like you’re the only one staying at the resort and it owns a long stretch of beachfront where there is white fine sand and just by walking into it makes your soul feel at ease… I love to kayak in the beach, it calms me down… There are 3 pools and 2 restaurants with fine dishes especially their seafoods. And the people working there are one of the most accommodating staff I’ve ever known, up to the point that I’m getting free meals each time I dine there. It’s like you’re the owner of the resort on how they treat you. It’s a very large resort and it’s BOHOL BEACH CLUB located at Panglao Island. And if you stay there, I guarantee that you’ll be coming back or maybe you won’t leave anymore…

        Besides the breathtaking beach resort as well as the underwater treasures. There are a lot of things to do in Bohol… and one of my top things to visit is the LOBOC RIVER’S FLOATING RESTAURANT. It’s a romantic setting which is perfect for lovers and together with the delicious buffet is the sound of the beautiful quiet nature where you can see the unwinding waterfalls and feel the sweet breeze of the wind accompanied by soothing music done by the locals as you travel the jade green color of the enchanting river…

        Other places to visit are the popular Tarsiers, although they are endangered so you are not allowed to touch them, my tourist guide brought me to a place where I can hold these little creatures… Also, the Architectural beauty of the OLD CHURCHES are a must see. And of course, who would forget the scenery that made Bohol as one of the top destinations around the world, our CHOCOLATE HILLS.

        There are new rising destinations around Bohol like the extreme adventure named THE PLUNGE... BUKO KING where he uses his teeth to peel of the coconut shell within 6 to 7 seconds, He was featured on TV… There are also majestic waterfalls around Bohol that are popular swimming locations…

        As time goes by, there are more and more discoveries of what Bohol can offer next to tourists like me but in the end, It’s nice to know that after visiting these wonderful spots around Bohol, You will end up resting in a perfect pampering alluring resort… And this is why I love to keep coming back to BOHOL…

LET US HELP PROMOTE PHILIPPINE TOURISM!!! IT WOULD HELP OUR FELLOW FILIPINOS!!!

Wicker Park

 
 

        This movie is definitely in my Top 5 Hall of Fame… It really kept me glued to the whole story from start to finish… If you want a real movie that would show how true great love works? It’s this movie. The twists and suspense are enthralling and exhilarating. It’s a love story that is 2 years in the making. I guarantee that you will be obsessed with the mystery. And you will definitely hate the antagonist so much. This movie is starred by Josh Harnett, Diane Kruger and Rose Byrne, all are familiar faces in popular movies such as National Treasure and Troy. I felt their characters so I could say that they portrayed it beautifully… There are many lessons to learn from this movie besides love. It also shows that even the closest and most trusted people in your life can lie to you and hurt you so don’t trust them so much because they would also want to be in your place and would do everything possible for you to go down and for them to be happy, it’s a selfish human nature and it’s a little bit sad because it’s true in real life… I’ve also learned that no matter how accomplished you are in life and no matter how high you have achieved in your goals, it would be all meaningless without love…

        This movie allows us to see a love story that would surpass all odds… that eventhough, many people would attempt to destroy your love by keeping the two of you apart through deception or by any other means, true great love will always find a way for you and your loved one to be destined together… Their love story wouldn’t be sweet and meaningful if they haven’t gone through the tests of time. This movie is thumbs up for me, it made me cry especially in the end… So I encourage you to give this movie a try, you won’t regret it…
